Depression by Tae Spears Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lil Homie was born in the burbs
African American not know his worth
So everyday he go outside to kicking it
He is reminded how his life is so different
He got the backlash from children with no discipline
Got teased his skin tone made him a misfit
So why risk it? He stayed in the house and layed low
As they sent shots from outside of his window
Wanted to be bright skin, blue eyes and blonde hair
How little homie was living his life in despair
It started with fear but fear turned to hatred
But not against them he hated who God created
Hated dude in the mirror wanted to feel basic
He thought basic was outside of his race and man
He felt wasted
But little did he know that God wants to bring him out this situation
[Chorus]
I know you dealing with depression right
Everything up in your life just never goes right
Don't give in homeboy naw you gotta fight
Let God be the truth everything else a lie
Everything else a Lie
Let God be the truth everything else a lie
Everything else a Lie
Let God be the truth everything else a lie
[Verse 2]
Lil mama was very active in youth church
Great student she aced all of her school work
She seemed perfect but know one knew that she hurt
Cause her father was never around to see her
And the fact that she wasn't a figure eight
Cause low self esteem she hated how she was shaped
Hated to look in the mirror never wanted to see
How far she was from the girl in the magazine
So she went on hiding how she truly feel
But whats hidden always find itself being revealed
Hers came from scars that she tried to keep covered
She tried to find pleasure and peace in being a cutter
But nothing got better it only got worst
So many things kept her from knowing he own worth
But thats something she can find in the Creator
I pray that she bows down and cling to the Savior
[Chorus]
I know you dealing with depression right
Everything up in your life just never goes right
Don't give in homegirl naw you gotta fight
Let God be the truth everything else a lie
Everything else a Lie
Let God be the truth everything else a lie
Everything else a Lie
Let God be the truth everything else a lie
[Verse 3]
I know pain, I know hurt
I been depressed, you not the first
I know the feeling of being all left alone
Not having a single person to lean on
I dealt with thoughts of suicide
One day I even tried, these are things i use to hide
But I'm alive because Gods alive
So every thought that I had the devil is a lie
The truth is you were made with s purpose
God made you more important then this earth is
So for the times that you felt worthless
You were wonderfully made see thats what the word says
So even if by the world you get ignored
God feels you were enough for him to die for
So don't search for your significance in them
Cause God wants you to see your beauty is in him
